Garden Cities of To-Morrow / Being the Second Edition of "To-Morrow: a Peaceful Path to Real Reform"

An urban-planning manifesto proposes building self-contained garden cities that combine compact, well-laid-out towns with surrounding agricultural belts to supply food and preserve open space. It describes typical layouts—central park, broad boulevards, radial avenues and an encompassing railway—and allocates sites for homes, industry, and public institutions. Detailed financial mechanisms explain purchase of land and the capture of increased land values as communal rate-rent to fund infrastructure, sinking funds, and municipal services. Chapters examine administration, semi-municipal enterprise, and local options for social reform, and conclude by arguing that multiplying such communities offers a practical remedy for overcrowded metropolitan areas.
